The Finis Jhung ballet technique. Intermediate centerwork on turns. Level 4
Description
If you've never done a pirouette, or are having trouble turning, this is for you. You begin slowly, making half and full turns on two feet (assemblé siyteby); next, you make a full turn slowly on a flat foot (promenade); you add movement to the extended leg (grand rond de jambe) in another promenade; you will identify the muscles that turn your plié, and finally you will practice pirouette en dehors and en dedans, concluding with a pirouette in the attitude position. Who said you couldn't turn?
